“How should partial dentures feel?”

First two months will be strange then you will accepted

Never having worn a partial, I can't tell you from personal experience, only what I "imagine" them to feel. They will not feel like nothing is there. You will definitely be aware of having something in your mouth initially. When they are first put in, you may develop sore spots, or pressure spots. These will need to be adjusted by your dentist. The clasps may need to be adjusted, depending on what type of clasps they are. Your tongue will have something new and different to explore, because tongues are curious critters. Partials do have a degree of bulk to them, so you will be very aware of them. You will have to learn how to put them in and take them out. You may have to learn how to speak with them, and you will have a lot more saliva for a while until your body adjusts to them. Over time, you will adapt and pretty much forget about them. Everything depends on whether you are getting top or bottom partials (or both), what they are made of (metal and acrylic, all flexible acrylic, just flexible acrylic clasps, or metal one). Basically, there are a lot of variables. If you have any concerns, please express them to your dentist.

Partial dentures should feel snug and stable while eating. Any discomfort or sore spot should be addressed by your dentist. Simple reduction to the partial can fix the problem.

Partial dentures should feel stable if they have teeth in the back and front to hold on to. They will also feel like a large oral appliance and will take some time to get used to. They are a prosthesis that you wear in your mouth to replace the teeth, bone and gums that you have lost. They are a good replacement for missing teeth. There are also other replacement options that are better such as fixed bridges and implants. Both of these options do not need to be removed and do not need to take up any more space than the teeth that you would normally feel. The Implant option is the best because it will secure the bone where the roots of the teeth used to be and so you don't lose any additional skull bone. They are also a better long-term solution in case you lose all the teeth to use as afoundation for a full denture.

They shouldnt hurt but it may feel like some pressure and you may feel
slight movement of the partial denture when you chew.

You should not feel anything poking or pinching.
